The national capital of Delhi is a few leagues behind with 39 billionaires, while Bengaluru, the tech hub of India, is home to 21 billionaires.

Among the billionaires who call Mumbai home is Mukesh Ambani, the only Indian to feature on the list of the world's top 10 billionaires. The chairman of Reliance Industries lives in one of the world’s largest and most expensive private residences – Antilia – in South Mumbai.
